TRUE WISDOM

August 19, 2010 Reading

After returning from an evening run together, my husband and I discovered a very odd horrible smell in the kitchen. I then noticed a gooey like substance all over the trash can lid! (sidebar) If you have kids I'm sure you find all sorts of interesting textures on the lids of your trash cans right?

Anyway... my attention was then drawn to the microwave. It was as if God just took my head and turned it right to the problem. Oh my poor microwave, it was the biggest goo mess I have ever seen folks!
My blood pressure was rising as I searched for my kiddos! My oldest son was hanging on the couch oblivious to the smell. I asked him if he knew what happened.

Mom, I was curious about what a banana would do in a microwave...... Trust me the mystery is solved .  The banana heats up and oozes making a horrible mess and the stench created, will knock you over.

The joy of having children, right?


Mystery, according to the Webster dictionary is anything that remains unexplained or unknown. My sons curiosity lead him to the actions taken so he could explain the unknown!

I was reminded of the mystery of the banana today after reading 1 Corinthians 2:7 "But we speak of the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our own glory"
v.10 "God has revealed to them to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God."

The Holy spirit offers Divine wisdom to every person. God has an amazing way of helping us understand the unexplainable or unknown. He may not answer all our questions completely or the way we want but He will unfold the mystery for us in fitting ways.

The key to understanding Gods wisdom lies with the Spirit not a religion. The spirit is the link between God and humanity and this makes knowing God possible. Without the spirit things will be foolish, dull or tasteless. A good comparison would be having no taste buds on your tongue. Taste buds bring flavor into the mouth. The spirit of God is needed in your life to bring about divine flavor and revelation. Most people in the world today regard Gods wisdom as foolish. Gods wisdom is incapable of understanding without the spirit. Gods wisdom is a mystery to the unbeliever. They cannot grasp the unknown without the help of divine revelation. Through His spirit God will reveal himself to men.

Just as my son became curious about what a banana would do in the microwave, I became curious about God and some unexplained hurting questions I had in my life. I desired some things to be made understandable for me. I needed Gods wisdom when my marriage was falling apart, I needed help, and still do, raising my children, Gods forgiveness was hard to understand, I felt so undeserving. Dealing with change, managing loss, making decisions about schooling and the list goes on. I was curious about the mysteries of God. I had enough religion. I desired God!

Gods wisdom is a mystery but it is revealed through Christ and made understandable through the Holy Spirit. Gods wisdom will help you. If you put your faith in Jesus Christ, and make Him Lord and Savior of your life you will receive the mind of Christ in your heart. As you read the word of God the spirit will reveal things about your present situation. Its kinda like an elevator, you will feel God bring something from what feels like the bottom up to the top of your mind. He brings a divine perspective from your humanly distorted perspective. The most interesting things began to occur in my life. He carries the answers to your entire life! The bible began to come alive for me!

Ask God to begin to reveal the mysteries to you today.

My very first prayer in the midst of my biggest pain went something like this.....
Dear Jesus, you are my choice. I want to believe in you but do not know how it all works. I need you in my life. Please take over and forgive me for all I have done. Please lead me in the right direction. I believe in you.
Amen

I promise He will take over in the most mysterious and unique ways! He is the ONLY one that carries the answers.
It is a grand mystery but very exciting adventure,

Chocolate milk and brown cows

August 18, 2010 Reading

Expecting chocolate milk from a brown cow is foolishness, just as expecting swiss cheese from a spotted cow is udder nonsense. Well I am here to admit in my younger years this is what I had figured out. I convinced myself that this is how it all worked! You can tell I was raised on a farm right? My husband is from up north in the beautiful country and I smile at myself every time I pass a cow pasture. A few years back as we drove the country side roads I shared this awesome wisdom I had about the cows with my husband, who is a very serious wise man, he just turned and looked at me in complete shock at how foolish that sounded!

I was reminded of our brief interaction today as I was reading 1 Corinthians 1:27, "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty."

Nevertheless, God has called this foolish girl that believed the best chocolate milk came from the darker brown cows. A call is not based on our own wisdom or status, but on the grace of God.  He chooses the weak and foolish so we find glory in HIM and not our own accomplisments, titles and status. I responded to the call on my life about 15 years ago. The call began as a personal invitation by God that drew me into a relationship with His son Jesus. The will of God then called this foolish cow confused girl to much more. My own human origin is not the sharpest in the intellect and smarts category. So I find it funny that God called me into full time ministry through speaking, writing and counseling!  Would you feel safe counseling with a lady that thought chocolate milk came from brown cows? I also am very weak when it comes to grammer, spelling, punctuation and enunciation! Ask my family..... I have recently purchased some grammar books and have asked my family to call me out on all my double negatives!

Today the bible reminded me that the power comes from Him and not from us. God will use us most powerfully when we feel the least adequate.

My confidence is taking a sure beating right now. In the past several months God has called me out of my church home and hometown. He called me out of a ministry which I was passionately leading and directing. I could not understand what was happening. It was awfully hard to loose an identity and security that made me feel important to God. This is when you begin to discover who you really are.

God has recently opened new doors. These doors will lead me to a deeper wisdom,(1 Corn. 12:8). The doors I have discovered have me only standing in the entrance. Insecurities and lack of confidence have me standing in the door way buckling at the knees.

God is faithful. Even when the enemy tries to batter us and make us loose confidence in our calling. God often proves himself when we feel we have less to offer. More often than not, the will of God will involve a daring decision that seems unsafe or insane. But if you have the guts, not the smarts to move, God will meet you on the other side of the door.

I find myself telling God, "I am not able to speak perfect, my grammar stinks and I cannot write or spell well." But God reminded me again today in the word that "In Christ Jesus, you become wisdom from God." 1 Corinthians 1:30.

Everyone is called and chosen by God for a purpose. Have you began your adventure God desires for you?

Have you answered the first call to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus? Do not let whats wrong with you keep your from entering into whats right with God.

Have you been feeling like God is positioning you in front of a new opened door? Expand your horizons and allow God to do "a new thing" You will never know whats on the other side of the door until you walk through it! That is the greater calling my friend!

Go after a dream that is destined to fail without DIVINE intervention. God knows a girl like me needs Divine intervention.

By His Grace,

Women Serving in the Church

August 17, 2010 Reading

Today is opening day for a movie called Nanny Mcphee. I am excited to see this movie with my kids. Nanny Mcphee is not the prettiest thing, but she comes packaged with her unique personality and gifts. She comes to aide and serve a struggling young mother, Mrs Green. The movie portrays much of today's realities of a broken world. The mother is trying to manage her family farm while her husband is away at war. Her kids are out of control and Mom is just plain TIRED!  Nanny Mcphee uses her fun skills and uniqueness to teach lessons of cooperation to the children. She loves on them and serves the family sacrificially and with much humor.

Today as I was reading  Romans 16, a woman named Phoebe was mentioned. Phoebe was a significant servant in the church of Cencherea. She helped, protected, looked after and provided for many. Phoebe's name in Greek means radiant and pure!

Women had a VERY important part in the ministry of Paul. As we find in many verses throughout Romans 16. Paul specifically mentions Phoebe and speaks highly of her and her strong leadership in the church. He introduces her to other Christians as "sister," "servant," "saint," and "helper."  Paul valued her as a radiant light for Jesus.

We as women need the fellowship of Godly women to encourage us into Gods great purposes. Women have the opportunity to help other women struggling with their daily lives. God has a significant purpose for you in His church. I personally encourage you to step out and go to a women's meeting, bible study or other opportunity in your church.  God never created you to stay on your personal island. Each women is hand picked by God, situated in Christ's body just as He desires. God will select the perfect place for you appropriate to your talents and gifts. We all go through experiences in life, your story is important!  God will put the exact woman in your pathway that needs your aid and help. Many difficult areas of my life have been used to draw other women to the heart of God. If a woman feels inadequate for the ministry task the Lord reveals to her, she needs to only remember Jesus' words, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor 12:9).

Jesus' life began with a woman named Mary and ended at His resurrection with a woman at the tomb. The bible recalls several significant women in the new testament and Paul affirms them by name. Friend, you are significant too! Allow God to establish you according to His ways, He has a story to tell through your life. How are you allowing God to use you today?

Blessings,

My Foot Slipped

August 16, 2010 Reading

This past Saturday morning I woke early to get in a morning run. We had an afternoon wedding that day and I was excited to get all dressed up in my new dress. I thought if I worked out before I could loose a quick 5lbs or so and look fabulous in no time! Don't you wish it worked like that? Quick results!

The morning was beautiful. A rising sun, fresh air and a sweet time chatting with my God. I remember specifically speaking to God about my need for His help this day. I truly need His divine aid daily or I end up dominated by the natural desires and stumble over my own self.

Running along I hit a bump in the road and went flying gracefully (NOT) through the air. As I was flying, I had a vision of scrapped up knees in my pretty new dress. I prepared to fall on my hands. Miraculously, I pulled myself straight back up out of the fall and landed on both feet. I know God helped me on this one folks!

As I was doing my daily reading this morning, I came across  Psalm 94:18-19  If I say, "My foot slips," your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up. In the multitude of my anxieties within me, your comforts delight my soul.

I could not help to recall my trip on Saturday morning. I know God caught me. He reminded me today that He wants to hold us and lead us in life. He will lead us away from stress and adversity. Trying to be what we are not is wrong.  God knows what we are and what are purpose in life is to be. Without, and I stress the word "WITHOUT" seeking His word, we will slip. God is committed to us and will not forsake us as long as we are committed to Him. His love will lead us through each and every trial, so that His will is accomplished. He will catch us as we trip. His mercy and grace pulls us back up.

Friends, I need the accountability of Gods word. He enables me to act properly so my foot will not slip. However, we are not promised a smooth road with no bumbs. We will trip along the way. God is all knowing, understanding our struggles, flesh desires, weaknesses and hurts. He has equipped us individually with the resource of His word. This word speaks specific to our personal road bumps and will help us triumph completely over the falls and anxieties. His word is alive and powerful. God desires us to live a life of a different kind. An extraordinary life will not happen WITHOUT hearing His word.

Do you wish for a more graceful walk in life without tripping over your own obstacles? Remember today that God is working on you daily. He promises to hold us by the hand. His goodness is rich to the faithful.

Psalm 139:10 "Even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me."
Blessings,

Sticks and Stones

August 14, 2010 Reading

No one will ever hear me being boastful and saying that I am a perfect example of Christ-likeness.  My learning process is forever ongoing and one can only hope that the right path is the one chosen.  However, we all know that the right path is not chosen all of the time.

God is quite convincing when it comes to putting the exact people needed in my life at the precise moment they will be needed.  When someone is going through a hard time and they are trying to climb out of their valley or "cell" they do not  need to be judged or made to feel bad.  In fact that is when others that have already felt God's love and mercy should surround them and help them to see what God has in store for them.  It is a beautiful thing to see someone grow and flourish in the Lord.

Romans 14:13 says "Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.." 

Life is hard enough without fellow Christians that have already been down a bumpy path throwing road blocks in the way.  It is very easy to judge others and think that your answers or insight is the "correct" ones. Criticism is nothing new to me, it is quite helpful, prayer and bible reading always tells me whether I need to change or continue forward.

Romans 14:4 states, "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand." 

Romas 14:22 states, "Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth." 

Trying to serve God is hard, the bible is a perfect set of instructions for us to use.  Some people do not use it nearly enough, personally I didn't and then my life was turned upside down for awhile.  Once I turned back to God, going in the right direction was much easier.

My hopes for you today is that you can use the Word today and apply it to yourself and see if you stand for what you believe in and truly try to abide by it.  Of course we all fall short, but giving up is not the answer, keep plugging along. The precious word says "My Grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9.

Remember that God has a huge purpose in mind for all. Let us be reminded through today's word that we should not focus on ourselves but rather others, seeking not to present a stumbling block to their faith. A stumbling block refers to any attitude or action that causes another believer to sin or to become confused about God's character and purpose. Let us be encourager's today!


Trying to be what I believe,

Forgiven and Set Free

August 13, 2010

Hi everyone!

My name is Kari and I am friends with Heather, she has been my mentor for a few years now.  She found me when I was in my lowest valley and provided much of the light I needed to find my way out of the darkness.  God put her in my life to push, no actually shove me in the right direction.  I am really hard headed to begin with, after an abundance of bad choices I found myself looking for God in all the wrong places! 

By nature, I am a “fixer,” but in my journey I have figured out that I truly must let go and let God, this is hard for me.  I struggle everyday with this. 

Heather is convinced that I am hilarious and have words that will help someone.  I love her to death, I know I would not be here if it was not for her.  I do not think being a comedian is what God has in store for me.  I could be wrong, I usually am, but I guess you all will have to suffer through while I am finding my path.  Heather has asked me to write the devotion on Friday's.  God is working something extraordinary in my life right now, just kind of in limbo while waiting for my directions in the mail…probably will be waiting for awhile though.

After reading the scripture for today, God knew this would be the perfect passages for me.  These passages talk about my testimony and life.  I was released from Oakland County Jail on March 23, 2009.  The scriptures in Psalm 88 hit very close to home for me.  I truly felt that my soul was full of trouble, certainly felt close to death.  In jail it was nothing but emptiness and loneliness even though it is ram packed full of people!

Psalm 88:2-8 “Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.  I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.”

The book of Romans speaks about adhering to authority and knowing that you must do so in order to be obedient to God.  Romans 13:1-2 “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.”  I do not like to be told what to do and how to do it.  Being in jail brings you to your knees, quick and in a hurry!  After my tears, my self pity, and the why me period, realizing that if I can be obedient to the guards in jail like that, why can’t I be obedient to God?  The world tries to control us.  We do not get that if we turn ourselves over to God, then we would be much happier.

Now don’t get me wrong, life will never be hunky dory, but it can be acceptable and pleasing if we try to be satisfied with what we have and not worry about what we don’t have.  I realize that my physical jail was very real and it was not fun, however not everyone is in a physical jail cell.  Sometimes we are in a makeshift jail cell that we have created from our own life’s circumstances.  Please know my friends, God is standing there waiting for you to call out to Him, he has the keys in his hand to let you out and set you free.  It is truly awesome to see how God has changed my life and made things different.  I strive to cling to what is good and hope to be a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.  I was living in shame, guilt, embarrassment, stress, and anxiety for a very long time.  Even though I was away from my family for that time, I was forgiven and set free!!!  I urge YOU to read the scriptures today and think of your “cell” and then call out to God and ask him to rescue you.  He will hear you, He is waiting for YOU!

Forgiven and set free,
Kari Chasen

A New Texting Code: TWF

August 12, 2010 Reading

I have become pretty good at texting these days! The idea of exchanging brief written messages back and forth is not easy for a girl like me. I have too much hot air to expel from my lungs and half the time I feel like I'm going to explode when texting. My kids do not think I am very good at exchanging "short" messages back and forth either but guess what?

NBFAB! (Not Bad for a Beginner).

For the longest time when I received ROFL on my phone I thought someone was getting sick and ralphing but they were really (Rolling On The Floor Laughing) Ok, I know its time to LOL (Laugh out Loud). My mother is even a better texter than me. Right mom?

Text messaging has become part of my daily life and I will admit, it is a great way to communicate a quick comment. So I have decided to create a new text code today because I have a quick comment that I would like to emphasize to my children in the middle of their busy lifestyles!   
The text code is TWF. Now follow with me and you will discover the code.

In today's bible reading, I came across a passage in my bible that I  had highlighted in yellow. If something is highlighted in my bible that means I better emphasise this in my life.

Psalm 86:11 states "TEACH me your ways, O Lord; I will WALK in your Truth; Unite my heart to FEAR your name."
This one promise has taught me 3 very important value points. I hope they bring as much value to your family as they do to mine.

1. TEACH = God will offer us direction and instruction each day free of charge. He will show you wondrous things. But how often do we really ask God daily to teach us His ways?
2. WALK=  He desires us to walk in truth. This refers to our lifestyle and commitment to the Lord. In Romans 12:9 it shares "CLING to what is good."  The book of Romans in the bible was written by Paul to the Christians in Rome. He wanted to instruct them how to live as Christians "CHRIST LIKE".  What really grabs my attention in this context is that God used Paul to teach others how to behave. Paul had taken a 180 degree turn from where he had been. He was a Christian basher to Christian champion. When Jesus captured Paul's heart, He got all of him! The same can be true for you. No matter who you have been or what you have done, your christian life can be complete, filled with passion, purpose and power. Do you desire to walk in truth? When you begin to desire you will then cling to what is good. My first prayer was "Lord, just give me desire to walk in truth and an appetite to crave a Christ like life."
3. FEAR=  Proverbs 19:23 shares "The fear of the Lord leads to life" Fearing the Lord is about reverence and obedience.  He does not want us to have a spirit of fear, but a sound mind.  We easily become fearful when our marriages are falling apart, homes breaking down, children rebelling, temptation that is hard to overcome, loneliness, loss of loved ones and many others.  However, remember my friend, He has wondrous things for your life!

So you are probably wondering what that text code means right?  TWF  is my personal text code to emphasize an important reminder to my three precious children.....Ask God to Teach and direct them, Walk in truth and watch their lifestyle and lastly Fear the Lord with obedience and respect. 

I pray for you to claim today's promise Psalm 86:11, ask God to teach you His ways, help you to walk in His truth and lastly open your heart to fear His name.

My new personal contact information will be coming soon. If you need to reach me on a personal level feel free to email me at:

TWF friends,

Mystery of the Broken Statues

I was chuckling to myself this morning as I was recalling some of the late nights of packing my special things before our recent Big move. Oh yes, one box at a time!  I specifically remember one evening taking one of the figurines off a shelf to pack away and noticed she had been attacked by a glue gun! Her broken parts had been grafted all back together in a mysteriously odd fashion.

Her right arm was glued to the left side and her head was glued on an angle and she was missing her left hand! All grafted so nicely so mom would NEVER NOTICE!  Trust me I began searching down the glue gun grafter! At least they used the glue gun and not duck tape!

This favorite figurine of mine all broken and glued together reminded me of Romans 11:19-24.

Verse 19 states "the Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in."  The branches in this bible text represent you and I in our broken unbelief state, we are broken off from the plan of God which was engineered for our life since birth.

I find much comfort this morning knowing that no matter how bad I have screwed up, God has taken my broken branches of shame, unbelief, ineffectiveness, doubt, rebellion, ignorance and hurt and reminded me through His promises today that when I turn my heart toward the Lord with humility, He will graft me back into the tree, which represents the plan of God!

God desires for us to be happy. God has a grafted plan full of destiny, meaning and purpose!

In yesterdays post we learned an important truth that "God is Able" to graft them in again. I also know that God is perfect in all He does. So I am most certain that He does not go crazy with His glue gone and smack the broken branches back together. Realize today, that ALL things work together for "your" good. That means that all the broken branches are engineered together perfectly for the greater plan. When the Lord does His transforming work in your life you will not sit on a shelf easily noticed that your brokenness was sloppily glued back together. No, my friends you will sit on a shelf as a perfectly grafted figurine sparkling in the beauty of grace, wisdom, knowledge and goodness for all to see. Not one speck of glue will be noticed because God is perfect and He will make us perfect in His love.

John 17:23 "I in them, and you in Me; that they may be made perfect"

Friends, believe with me today that God is faithful to do what He promises for you. Do not let the glue guns of this world try to graft you back together because you will appear broken on that shelf.

Turn your precious heart towards God and let Him begin to graft you back into His wonderful masterpiece, your brokenness will be beautiful.

Now, I have a crazy question...am I the only mom that has come across the figurine on the shelf that looked attacked by a glue gun?

Today's Biblical Promise and Reading

Beautifully broken,

The Women's Restroom Prank

Hello friends and family,

I am so thrilled to launch, share and journey with you through the new and revised daily devotional BLOG.

Thank you, Kari Chasen for coming alongside me and using your gifts in  marketing and computer savvy skills!

I have personally taken a sabbatical/rest from ministry......I AM BACK!  After moving our family to a new hometown, relocating and adjusting in a new church home (Northridge Church, Plymouth, MI), letting go and saying goodbye to many special women that have impacted my life, lastly with much pain and hurt I had to lay down the dreams within a women's ministry called "W.O.W." where I passionately served as ministry director, teacher, speaker, counselor and friend. I needed to take some time away to realign myself with the footsteps of God and the plans and calling He has for my life.

There is a lot of EXCITING things happening around and in my life. I am ready to step out in faith not fear and say "yes" to God one fresh step at time. God is blowing new life into a past dream. I just had to be obedient to lay down some dreams because no dream is more important than Him. After all, His visions are further reaching!

I can go on about all God is doing and adjusting in my life for His purposes, however this blog is not about me! It is about you and me communicating the biblical promises for the day. In each post you will find the bible reading for the day and week at the very top of each post.  I will utilize a bible promise from that days reading that stood out to me. I will then apply that particular biblical promise or promises to the REALITY of my daily life to teach, comfort and encourage others in a fun, practical and real way.  I encourage you to read the daily bible reading posted after the blog entry. You can even post a comment on how you experienced God through a biblical promise that stood out to you . Maybe you just want to comment on the blog post and how it has helped you draw the necessary courage to trust God that day. Remember everyone has a good answer and will help another reader!

A typical post will look like this:

I needed to stop off to use the bathroom during a recent road trip to North Carolina. My girlfriend followed behind me as we rushed from our car into the McDonald's girls room! As I stood in front of the door the word "OMEN"  jumped out at me. It sounded like a beast of a word and I was not entering! I turned to my girlfriend and said "This is for Omens" and went searching for the woman's bathroom, still confused about what an Omen was in North Carolina! I was convinced it was the janitors room or a secret storage of some sort.  My best girlfriend followed my wanderings and confusion until the BIG LIGHT BULB moment hit us....the "W" in the WOMEN sign somehow disappeared.  "OMEN" was all we seen, not even a triangle figure of a women was engraved in the door to help us realize it was the ladies bathroom!  Friends, this only happens to two very tired girls that have been in a car far too long...brain dead!

The last few days the word OMEN has not left my mind. I was a truth seeker for many years during a point in my life. Tasting sweet and dangerous honey's in life. Always waiting for the real sign or OMEN in life and was desperate to find it anywhere. At one of my lowest points in life, I had no where else to turn and I asked God to help me. In my darkest hours I found true light to bring me where I needed to go... Directly to the heart of God!

The Webster's dictionary states that an OMEN is a sign of something about to happen. An unstoppable force of irresistible change; good or bad.

After today's reading I was reminded of Gods goodness and mercy in becoming the WOMAN He has intended for me to be. As I continued to reflect on the word OMEN I have been reminded that a "woman" who sets her heart toward God will experience His unstoppable force of goodness, riches, wisdom and knowledge. His ways are unsearchable and past finding out! The unstoppable force of an unexplainable God grabbed hold of a broken, wild, weak, disqualified woman like me and grafted me into His plans and purposes.

Romans 10: 23 states" God is able to graft them in again"

Romans 10:36 reminds us that "For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be the glory, forever"

Remember in today's biblical promise that GOD IS ABLE!

Thank God for the person you are becoming today or ask God to help you turn away from unbelief and the accusers voice and turn towards Him.

God is true to His promise,
